Where safety and accuracy can’t be an option

Wind energy

Wherever there is a breeze

Quite often the best winds are where the ground is hard to reach - if there is ground at all. This is where our LR crawler cranes come in, at onshore installations or mountainous areas, flat lands or even offshore sites.

Port and floating

If space on land is scarce

Especially in cities, the river can be used as an alternative transport route. Crawler cranes carry out lifting operations on floating structures. Building materials, which are transported and discharged on the river, take trucks off the road, limit traffic jams and protect road users.

Deep foundation

Going underground

Our crawler cranes serve as optimal carrier equipment. With attached leader system, they are suitable for all common piling and drilling methods. They excel through large working ranges and enable particularly effective lengths.

Test loads

For reliable and safe operations

We adopt the very highest safety standards for the design of our crawler cranes. This particularly applies to the structural values. Our engineers calculate every single crane's structural integrity with a high safety margin.

Every single crane has to pass a whole series of intensive, continuous tests and checks both during the entire production process and afterwards on our own test site. The test load for the crane acceptance procedure on the test site is around 25 percent higher than the standard load capacity.

Well designed equipment

We enhance industrial safety

Crane drivers and operating personnel often have to work at great heights. To keep them safe, we’ve developed an effective safety concept to provide the best possible safety standards. Collective safety equipment such as railings and handles on crawler cranes prevent from falling.

In addition, we fit every new crane with a fall arrest system. The safety harnesses are attached to steel cables which run along the boom using carabiner hooks. The PPE has undergone a whole series of tests and has received multiple certificates from state safety authorities.

Wind influence

We support in windy conditions

We are committed to making crane operations safe. One of our focal points is the clarification of risks and dangers caused by the effects of wind. Wind can exert additional or reduced forces on a crane and can change character in a matter of seconds. It acts on both the load and the crane. The wind load can often not be detected by the crane control.

We provide information about these effects and simple, readily understandable training on how to calculate the maximum permitted wind speeds in a given situation.

Crane Planner 2.0

Planing & lifting - Liebherr provides solutions for every step of your project. In addition to time and cost savings, safety standards in particular are being redefined.

All work steps from picking up to setting down the load can be simulated on the PC or even in virtual 3D space. The feasibility of the entire project is checked in advance directly at the planning table. The advantages are obvious.
